1. Memory， they say，is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious（有意识的）effort，then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful，there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week，for example，I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night，yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month，for example，I was sitting in a barbershop（理发店）waiting for my turn to get a haircut，and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.
We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件）caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. Unfortunately，however，absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks”of our memory can cause us great trouble.
【小题1】If you want to have a good memory， _____.

A．you should ask someone else to help you to remember things

【小题2】In the passage，the writer seems to tell us _____.

A．forgetting things is serious and dangerous

B．always forgetting things is understandable

D．Get Rid of Absent-mindedness

2. Everyone wants to achieve true happiness in life.But the biggest factor holding most of us back is actually our ownselves.The Huffington Post released a list of seven mistakes we need to let go of in order to become happier people.Let’s take a look.
1.Placing too much emphasis on fulfillment (成就感)
Those who put a lot of pressure on themselves to be happy feel more lonely on a daily basis than those who do not,according to research conducted at the University of Denver,US.
2.Keeping it all in
Keeping it all together during tough times can hurt you.Crying is the body’s emotional response to outside triggers (诱因).Bysuppressingit,you may be damaging your mental and physical health.
3.Looking at your smartphone all the time
Connecting with others may be the key to happiness,but a recent University of Michigan study found that the more time participants spent on social networking sites,the less happy they felt.
4.Not moving
It’s no secret that a healthy lifestyle is a big part of happiness.Something as simple as a walk can help you increase your creativity and expose you to essential vitamins.
5.Not reflecting on the past
In a 2013 study on nostalgia (怀旧) and emotion,participants reported a higher sense of physiological comfort when they looked back on the past.Affection for heartwarming memories helps people relate their past experiences to the present in order to create a greater sense of meaning.
6.Resisting change
A study on the psychology of choices shows that the human brain naturally tries to avoid loss—but that resistance can cause stress.Whether it’s fear of the unknown or fear of losing what you currently have,the pressure to hold on to the present can harm your future life satisfaction.
7.Not being mindful

3. Apple a day may poison children
Children who eat an apple or pear a day may be exceeding(超过) the pesticide(杀虫剂) safety limit because of remains on the fruit，according to research.
Using data of the British Department of Environment on pesticides on fruit collected from supermarkets，scientists thought that each day some children would get a poisonous level of pesticides.
The research，published on Sunday，says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because，instead of measuring individual apples， researchers buy 10，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. This is the internationally agreed method of checking remains.
But government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch(一批)，and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch.
It used mathematical modeling to measure exposure(暴露) to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. The pesticides involved can destroy children’s hormones and some are suspected(怀疑) of causing cancer.
The good news for British fruit growers is that samples grown in this country had lowerresiduelevel than imported fruit，so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger，said Emily Diamand，one of the Earth’s senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report.

A．two apples，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe

B．five apples，crush them and test to see if they are safe

C．ten apples，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe

D．eighty apples，and then test them by crushing

【小题3】The underlined word “residue” can be replaced by ______.

A．remains	B．pesticide
C．poison	D．medicine

4. We often think of future. We often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years’time.
Think of space，perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed，permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). When that time comes，people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. Great progress will have been made in medicine，too. Perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseases—cancer. Pollution is a problem we must solve. In a hundred years’time it will have been controlled.
All the world will have been developed — even Antarctica. There will be large cities in Antarctica. We already have supersonic(超音速的) flight，but in a hundred years’time we will have supersonic land travel as well.

5. London Underground
The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time，the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work， they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems，the idea of the London Underground，the first subway system，was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays， but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed),and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However，the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)，as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems，riding in the Underground didcatch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.
【小题1】What led the British government to build the London Underground？

A．Traffic jams and pollution.

B．Population and pollution.

C．Overcrowding and traffic jams.

D．The poverty and subway problems.

【小题2】How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？

A．It made the tunnels larger.

B．It put fans in the tunnels.

C．It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.

A．To relocate the workers’homes outside London，the government built the subway.

B．There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened.

D．There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.
